The Abbey

What started out as a cozy coffeehouse in 1991 has transformed into a happening West Hollywood gay bar. Lance Bass and Pamela Anderson come here for fun cocktails and conversation at night, but stop by for a low-key lunch to avoid the lively evening scene.

Lance Bass, partying until closing in the VIP area at the Abbey in West Hollywood with pal Christina Applegate. Among the revelers during this Gay Pride weekend, Dame Elizabeth Taylor stopped by, but decided to leave because of the crowd. Still, a source tells us: "She was thrilled to see so many
celebrating."

Christina Aguilera, hosting a Sex and the City-themed surprise party for a makeup-artist pal at The Abbey in West Hollywood. The new mom and her 25 guests sipped on custom cocktails inspired by the ladies of SATC, including The Carrie cosmo and a sour-apple martini called The Miranda, while shirtless waiters passed out calamari and chicken satay. The highlight of the affair: a Manolo Blahnik-shaped cake.

Hilary Duff, dancing with sister Haylie and 7th Heaven star Beverley Mitchell at West Hollywood club Winston's following her record-release party at bar-lounge The Abbey. They grooved to the Van Halen classic "Hot for Teacher" as Lindsay Lohan, who also attended Duff's Abbey bash, whispered and hung out with Korn drummer David Silveria. Also making the scene: Jessica Alba and her pals.
